If you want to keep some content hidden from the public eye, you'll be able to enable password protection for a certain folder - either the main site folder or any other one below it. In case this option is enabled, a pop-up shall appear each time anyone attempts to open the folder in question or clicks on a direct link that goes a few levels deeper, so login details will be needed for www.domain.com/folder/image.jpg when you have secured the domain.com folder. In case the details are not valid, a “403 Forbidden” message will appear and there's no method of getting around this restriction, so you can be certain that nobody shall be able access the secured content. The function could be helpful in a variety of situations - if only a few people should be able to see particular files, if you are creating an Internet site and you don't want people to see it before it's completed, etc.
Password Protected Directories in Shared Hosting
With the password protection tool provided with every shared hosting plan which we provide, you'll be able to shield any content that you have inside your account with merely a few mouse clicks. Due to the fact that the tool is part of our revolutionary Hepsia Control Panel, it offers the same simple interface and you will not require any special skills to use it. Once you check out the Password Protection section, you will need to choose one of the domains or subdomains which you have inside the account and then decide if the protection should be switched on for the primary folder or for a subfolder. Then input the username and the password that you want and you shall be set. A small padlock symbol within the File Manager section will tell you that a particular folder is password-protected. In the same exact way you'll be able to include numerous usernames and passwords for the same folder if you want several people to have their own login credentials.
Password Protected Directories in Semi-dedicated Hosting
When you have a semi-dedicated server account with us, you shall be able to shield any content that you've uploaded through our protection tool. Its interface is as basic and intuitive as that of the Hepsia Control Panel it's part of, so you'll not need to type in any code at any time. You will simply have to pick one of the domains/subdomains which you have inside the website hosting account and to pick which folder has to be password-protected - the website’s root folder or some folder below it. After that you can input the username and the password, which will be stored in encrypted form in our system, and you'll be ready. The protection will be switched on right away, so anybody who tries to access the recently secured folder will have to input the accurate login information. In case various individuals should be able to access the same content, you can create a separate username for each.
